The 3D Numerical Simulation of Flow Field on Y-Shape Flaring Gate Piers Combined with Stepped Spillway

Abstract:

The energy dissipater of stepped spillway combined with flaring gate pier is widely used in china's hydraulic engineering. The finite volume method is applied to discrete analysis, with the RNG turbulence model and VOF model of water vapor two-phase, iterative solution of geometry reconstruction format unsteady flow to generate free surface. Adopting structured grid for geometric shape, numerically simulated the water vapor two-phase flow from the reservoir to stilling basin. The parabolic water-vapor interface , overall flow pattern, water wings, section depth and other hydraulic characteristics was produced by simulating the three-dimensional flow field.Compared the simulated results of water depth, flow velocity in stilling pool, the board pressure with experiment data, the average error is: the left side depth of 3 # table hole of 7.1%, and the right of 7.4%; the underside flow velocity of 3 # table hole of 5%;1 # table hole stilling pool board pressure of 7.6%,3 # table hole stilling pool board pressure of 6.6%.
